A Nonequilibrium Thermodynamic Approach for Surface Energy Balance Closure by Peiyuan Li, Zhi‐Hua Wang

“…In this study, we developed a novel approach based on nonequilibrium thermodynamics by representing the atmospheric boundary layer as a heat engine. In addition, an analytically tractable approach was used to estimate the ground heat flux based on Green's function approach, which in turn determines the available energy that drives the atmospheric heat engine. …”
